PANEL SESSION - THE NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING AUTHORITY IN THE UK
Co-Chairs: Fred Sheil, BNFL (UK)
Gary Benda, US Energy Corp. (USA)
Follow-on panel from Session 2A. In anticipation of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
(NDA) a Liabilities Management Unit (LMU) was established to prepare for the NDA including
having in place the necessary working arrangements with the existing site owner/operators. This
includes introducing programmes controls arrangements with Lifecycle Baselines (LCBLs) and
Near Term Work Plans. At the time of ICEM 03 the initial LCBLs will have been completed for
all the sites and the LMU will have concluded the first national roll up, the production of the
first NTWPs will be underway. The transition to the new arrangements including the move from
owner operators to M&O contractors, the type of contract envisaged and the generation of
national strategies and priorities will be of interest to all involved in dealing with the nuclear
legacy. A panel of senior government and industry representatives will discuss the current
status and long term objectives. Panelists include: Neil Baldwin, Head of Site Remediation,
BNFL (UK); David Bennett, Strategic Policy Manager, UK Environment Agency (UK); Alan
Edwards, Director, Liabilities Management Unit (UK); Stephen Marchetti, Executive VP -
Operations, Washington Group International (USA); Mike Weightman, Deputy Chief Inspector,
NII (UK); and Stephen White, Director Liabilities, UKAEA (UK).
